I would say avoid the town itself - some nice villages nearby though like Coleorton, Ravenstone, Swannington and Packington. Best primary schools seem to be Griffydam, Packington, woodstone and ugh area doesnt have any really poor schools. Need to think about secondaries though and the schools in Ashby have a better reputation so Ashby/coleorton/Packington area might be better as these are feeder schools for Ashby.

Hiya we are also looking at Coalville two roads All Saints Road and Boylan Road can anyone give us some feedback on these roads please, is it safe for kids? is it a family orientated area???Any help would be much appreciated
